SO SAYS RUSS GODFREY IN HIS DIVORCE CASE

A Couple who have been Married for 30 Years, in the Divorce Court

 

Laura B. Godfrey has commenced suit against her husband. Russell L. Godfrey, asking for a divorce on the grounds of drunkenness and cruelty.

Mr. Godfrey lives out on the motor line and is well known here in the city. The parties have been married for 30 years.

Mrs. Godfrey charges that her father gave her a deed to their present farm ''and that she made out a deed to her husband, with the understanding that it was not to be put on record until after her death. She says that he did put it on record, however, and now she wants the deed set aside.

Mr. Godfrey files an answer, in which he says that he was never drunk and that he is only a moderate drinker. He sets forth how the present title to the property came about. The matter of alimony will cut quite a figure in the case.
